To directly test the hypothesis that only two pigment genes are expressed from the X-chromosome array, we examined expressed M and L pigment gene sequences from > 100 male eye donors. In this sample, there were eight men who expressed high levels of more than one L pigment gene in addition to M pigment genes. The fact that these eyes expressed both L and M pigment genes at significant levels su...

introduction: the mechanisms of hepatic encephalopathy are not fully understood. moreover, there is no comprehensive data concerning the effects of nitric oxide (no) system on anxiolytic-like behaviors induced by bile duct ligation (bdl). methods: male mice weighing 25-30 g were used and anxiety-like behaviors were tested using hole-board task. results: the data indicated that cholestasis incre...

background: increasing evidence suggests an association between ele­vated serum aminotransferase levels and metabolic disorders (metabolic syndrome, hyperlipemia and diabetes mellitus). however, the significance of relatively low levels of aminotransferases in relation to metabolic disorders has not been fully investigated in the general population. we inves­tigated the association between seru...

Plasma biopterin derivatives studied in 10 normal and 21 phenylketonuric children showed a significantly high concentration in the latter group. Biopterin derivatives correlated with plasma phenylalanine concentration, but in normal adults given an oral phenylalanine load the rate of increase with phenylalanine differed from that in phenylketonuric patients. A patient with hyperphenylalaninaemi...

We generalize some results of Gray and McGibbon-Roitberg on relations between phantom maps rational homotopy to relative maps. Since the <mml:mi ma...

Inherited thyroxine binding globulin (TBG) disorder can be identified incidentally or through neonatal screening test. TBG excess is characterized by high levels of thyroxine (T4) but normal level of free T4 (fT4), while TBG deficiency presents with low T4 levels and normal fT4 levels. A 27-day-old newborn was brought to the hospital because of hyperthyroxinemia detected by neonatal screening. ...

A 3.5-year-old boy living in a remote Armenian village was admitted to the hospital in Yerevan in March 2002 with a history of polydipsia since the age of 6 months, bowed legs since he started to walk at the age of 1 year and an increasingly large abdomen. The child was very small [height: 74 cm ( 5.9 SDS)] but alert, had a moonlike face, a grossly enlarged liver (10 cm below the costal margin)...

background: endometriosis is a complex estrogen-dependent disease that is defined as the presence of endometrial gland and stroma outside the uterine cavity. although the exact mechanism for the development of endometriosis remains unclear, there is a large body of research data and circumstantial evidence that suggests a crucial role of estrogen in the establishment and maintenance of this dis...

Serum calcium was 1.25 mmol/L (normal range 2.10-2.60 mmol/L); phosphate 1.97 mmol/L (normal range 0.8-1.55 mmol/L); alkaline phosphatase 134u/L (35-120 u/L); magnesium 0.61 mmol/L (0.70-1.03 mmol/L); T4 27.9 pmol/ L (7.6-19.7 pmol/L); T3 1.9 pmol/L (1.5-3.0 pmol/L); TSH 0.02 mU/L (0.4-4.5 MU/L); parathyroid hormone <10 ng/L (10-50 ng/L). Full blood count, renal function and autoantibody screen...
